The Founders of the Marshall McLuhan Center on Global Communications.

In 1981, less than a year after the passing of Marshall McLuhan, his daughter Mary McLuhan founded the Marshall McLuhan Center on Global Communications. As chairman, Ms. McLuhan remains the heart and soul of the dynamic non-profit public benefit organization dedicated to her father's memory and his life-long aim to promote understanding and progress amongst all people of the world through the communication of knowledge.

Mary McLuhan served a 5 years term on the California State Board of Education, to which she was appointed by Governor Edmund G. Brown. Jr. in 1979. In addition she served as a member of the California Curriculum Commission and the Educational Innovation and Planning Commission.
